..... besides the 5600 having DX9 architecture, it still is a low budget card on the market. It barely performed better than the Geforce 4 ti4200 on gaming benchmarks (with the exception of AA and AF tests), and the ATI Radeon 9500 performed better in all the tests, for the money i assume the card would go obsolete within the next year or 2, so i would rather go with a Geforce 4ti 4600 (if u dont have the money to buy the FX), or the Radeon 9500 rather than the FX 5600
